Why hire an intimacy coordinator?

Intimacy Coordinators play a key role in ensuring that intimate scenes, both on and off camera, are handled smoothly and professionally. Their services include:

  • Facilitating dialogue between directors and actors about the creative vision, expectations, and boundaries regarding intimate scenes

  • Creating a consent-based environment for actors to do their best work

  • Assisting the Director in choreography, when asked

  • Coordinating nudity garments for actors with wardrobe and makeup when necessary

  • Ensuring SAG Protocols and Guidelines for actor nudity and closed sets are upheld

The intimacy professional’s work centers on scenes including:

  • staged or simulated outercourse (i.e. kissing, heavy-petting, grinding, masturbation, stripping, lap dancing, cuddling, touching, massage)

  • staged or simulated intercourse (i.e. vaginal, oral, anal penetration by genitalia, hands, or objects/toys; oral sex)

  • hyper-exposure (i.e. nudity, loaded or charged language, childbirth, body trauma, bathing, bondage, kink, medical nudity or touch)
